"Well," Lila said to herself, "I suppose this was only to be expected."
They'd had a several-days-long period when the sun didn't set a while back. Now it was remained dark long after the sun should have risen. And probably would for a couple of days, if she had to guess. Was it just some sense of symmetry on the part of The Powers That Be? Or was it somehow necessary to balance the extended daylight with an extended night? Lila shrugged and grinned. The only thing she was certain of was that she'd probably never know the answer to that question.
The park was dark, though pools of light spilled from the streetlights along the roads and paths. They mostly just served as counterpoint to the darkness, making the rest of the park look darker. The park was busy, too, much busier than it usually was after dark. But then, so was the rest of Madison. People still had jobs and schools to attend even in the dark.
She'd have to find a job soon. But for the moment Lila remained a woman of leisure, so she'd come to the park to see how people were reacting. "Nice day for a walk, don't you think?" she asked a woman not far away.
